A very clumsy, rough sketch of the various birds that have been found using #SwiftBricks - includes the 4 red list species that benefit from including swift bricks in buildings. Please support @WriterHannahBT in her campaign to put one in each new build. #birds

Quite incredible to have been producing radioactive waste for as long as we have without firmly resolving how we are going to safely store that waste.
HT to @Jonathan__Leake. Nuclear power is often described as ‘clean’ - that ignores the findings of the Royal Commission, aka, the Flowers report 50 years ago, that States - “There should be no commitment to a large programme of nuclear fission power until it is demonstrated

Illegal waste dumps are a growing problem. This one's located in a flood risk zone, raising the spectre of harmful chemicals getting into the river + floodwater. It's not only illegal waste sites - along the Cherwell, there are historic landfills, many unlined, in flood zones 🧵1

Historic landfills can contain items we use less today or wouldn't put in landfill. Think lead paint or batteries, asbestos, arsenic. Until relatively recently, there was no requirement to line landfill. Many are in flood or coastal erosion zones. 2 https://t.co/bGBZ3r1VcL

More than 21,000 old sites may be releasing ‘forever chemicals’ into land often left as open space

Illegal landfills, meanwhile, have no restrictions on what enters them, no lining + no filters. Until strong measures are taken to deal with illegal dumping, people's health will continue to be at risk from the chemicals they can contain. 4/4 https://t.co/8x4iaPqOJ8

🎉 Incredible ocean win from our friends at @SussexWildlife in a battle to stop dredging taking place in a conservation zone. Plans involved one million tonnes of sediment being dumped over 10 years on "important, internationally rare habitat" https://t.co/08PXppH1Cg

The Trust challenged the plan to dredge a million tonnes and dump it on a marine conservation area.

Israel attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in 5 years, data reveals. Armed forces & settlers used bombs, dogs, poison & machinery to attack people & infrastructure. It's "an important part of a genocidal strategy" says UN Rapporteur @PericoArrojo

READ: The Trump administration is reportedly planning to open California & other U.S. coasts to more offshore drilling. In many of these areas, oil drilling development has never occurred – but that soon could change if we don’t speak up in opposition. https://t.co/4jkPFUi5TR

Gov. Gavin Newsom, a chief critic of the president and an opponent of oil exploration in the Pacific, called the proposal “dead on arrival.”

Bottom trawling isn’t just an ocean issue, it’s a climate one too. It destroys carbon-rich seabeds & weakens the ocean's resilience. Banning it in marine protected areas is vital for our seas & in the fight against climate breakdown ✊🌎 #COP30

Tackling the carbon emissions of bottom trawling is a fast and effective way to forestall climate change while protecting our precious marine ecosystems. But despite the minimal returns, governments...

"Produced water", brimming with salt + chemicals, rises with oil + gas, then gets shot back underground by injection wells. The contaminants it contains are turning up in people's wells + on farmland. What's buried doesn't stay buried. https://t.co/5xhBATSGfo

@WATERSHED_i Fracking drills through the water table, high pressure oil and muck is pumped to break the ground, oil and gas could easily get back in the water table. As it is the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 dosen't have great water storage or clean rivers as it is
